Setup a wireless workgroup
I have a desktop wired to a wireless router, i aslo have two desktops with
wireless NIC's and two laptops with wireless cards. I have gone through the wizard multiple times and have had no luck. The only time I can even see the other computers is when i set it up as a wired network. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it. |

Are you able to get to the Internet with your wireless connections? If not, you haven't set up the wireless correctly. Post back with more details such as the make/model of your router and what you've already tried.
